A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks.

Bloggers beware

Public awareness of the US military's information operations is low, but it's growing - thanks to some operational clumsiness.

When it describes plans for electronic warfare, or EW, the document takes on an extraordinary tone. It seems to see the internet as being equivalent to an enemy weapons system

That's an old story. It certainly has progressed in the last 10 years. They have their pro gang stalker methods going in overdrive. Big shit eating grins on the major media ones. Pushing their overinflated ego gossip out there for everyone to consume. Be careful what you EAT!
